It's weird, I either see girls falling head-over-heels for either the older, sophisticated, experienced guys with money or the drugged out degenerate, assholes. It's the middle 50% of dudes who seem to get the sh!t end of the stick.

I guess the explanation for this is girls want both security and emotions (good or bad). The douchebag/bad boy gives the girls a rollercoaster of emotions and drama, while the older, experienced guy gives them both emotional and financial security. The average dude gives her neither of these.
I think I have a pretty good idea of where most guys on this forum fall on this continuum.
Yeah, I'm 50, and NOT the alpha male type. Wife. Girlfriend, too. And girlfriend is OK with other girls coming into our bed on the odd occasion. If you pay attention throughout your 20s and 30s, you'll figure it out. If you're semi-competent, you'll have the means to act on what you've learned. It's simple actually. Hey 20 yo guy: she is as stupid as you are, but you're too stupid to figure it out. 50 yo guy knows how stupid you both are. It's not really that hard. Oh, and while a runner's physique on 20 yo guy makes him look like a pvssy, on a 50 yo guy, it looks like you know what you're doin'.
Live till 50; it ain't gonna change any time soon. You'll get yours. Patience, grasshopper.
The money answer is a cop out. It's basically the same thing you told yourself as a freshman in HS when the seniors were dating the freshman (yeah, they have cars).
The truth is the same too. You guys are effin stooopid. Older guy listens to younger guy and younger girl talking and can see immediately that they are speaking completely different languages, but neither of them know it...they actually think they are communicating. It's so simple for older guy to step in and in a span of a few sentences take younger girl from younger guy. Despite the bald spot. You can't solve the problem till you face the problem. You're just too, well, stupid. Spend a few years. Observe. It doesn't come naturally. It's not a difficult skill, but you do need to put in the effort. It's worth it. Trust me. If you can stay relatively healthy, fit, and economically not unattractive (no mom's basement), you become like a sexual Bildeberger. You own the room.
Why don't you ask Elon Musk?
LOL- I'm rather poor- I'm a teacher.
I am 5'7 and weight 140lbs.
I'm kind of muscular but not what you would call buff.
I've been told- by MANY people that I am "accessible" and very approachable- easy to talk to.
I'm being very serious- complete strangers say hello to me- randomly.
I have a GF and she gets a kick out of it- no matter where we go.
I once had another woman's husband tell me that "husbands" don't like me.
I have never hit on another man's wife or anything like that, but it's that approachableness I mentioned above.
I smile a lot. I am usually happy and have a very positive outlook.
My friends tell me that I am hopelessly optimistic, always seeing the bright side of any situation (except the Trump administration- that's depressing me). LOL
But- that's it in a nutshell.
And no- I don't take testosterone replacement stuff.
I turned 30 this year and I really started being more attractive to females noticeably. The biggest difference between like 24 year old me and 30 year old me is that I care way less and expect way less of them. I realize im flawed now but back then I thought i was a deserving demi god. Most women are insecure as hell and they want someone that isnt gonna leave them for their insecurities. In all honesty i bet you could be that attractive younger if you have a gentle maturity and kindness to you and dont expect to have a perfect woman. Learn to say a bunch of funny stuff and make fun of your self a lot in a funny way and youll be eating bunghole in just a few days

You sound the opposite of me. I’m extremely pessimistic and go out of my way to avoid people. Also socially independent. I would imagine most of Letsrun is more like me than you though.
Being nice, being smart, and having FU money (not pretend money) Naples Florida rich is what I am saying. No one in Naples Florida has to pretend like they are rich because they are. With those qualities and being in decent shape life is great. Just have to get there my good man.

Probably. And it's also why you get the feeling a decent portion of LRC struggles with women. Pessimistic + not social is a recipe for not being successful with women. This is even more true when you consider that most (there are exceptions for sure) anti social people don't lead super fun, adventurous lives. They are often successful people, who do well and are a good productive member of society; but they aren't necessarily fun to be around.
Although I'm a little skeptical of the guy in his 50s claims about people approaching him (literally never seen random people go up and start a conversation with other random people without a clear reason, especially same sex) he gives off an engaging, rather extroverted impression.
The husbands not liking thing also likely goes with that vibe. It's likely your still good looking into your 50s, or at the very least for your age, and if you have a confident, assertive vibe that's usually enough to "threaten" other men.
idk they just do

Yes, it is absolutely and solely about the money. Period.
Other people (maybe even a few women) will get on this thread and claim that it has to do with maturity, personality, etc. But you can bet your arse that it is ONLY about the money.
Guys can can look like crap, have crap personalities, be abusive in every sense of the word. As long as he has a fat wallet, women will overlook EVERY other fault. Bank it.
Because those young bucks are dull and entertain themselves by making weak troll threads on messageboards.
Exactly what someone would say that has no money. But it is a big part of it.

No.
They go for the older guys because older guys who attract women LISTEN and pay attention and have a genuine interest in the women they date. That is attractive to most women.

Ahem. Physical Attractiveness. You haven't let yourself go so you still look okay, but I'd almost guarantee you've lost a chunk of how good you look already. Not the end all be all, but it's definitely an important factor. You probably get more women interested in you now, but they are more interested in you because of what you bring to the table; not because they actually are into "you".
I'm a similar age and, in my opinion, look better than I did 10 years ago, which I think is the case of a lot of guys in their 30s who don't lose their hair, keep themselves fit, and have otherwise been fortunate in the aging department (I look a good 5-10 years younger than most people I went to HS/college with). I also have a lot of very interesting life experience and better confidence and social skills than when I was a recently-graduated college runner. And a very good career with lots of disposable income, but the girls (even early 20s) I tend to see are pretty well-situated themselves. I would say my early 30s is where I started to do VERY well with the ladies, although if you're relatively attractive dating apps can definitely do a lot to gain easy access to girls you wouldn't be meeting otherwise (I've got a couple thousand matches on my Tinder profile and I would say I'm pretty picky, at least on looks haha).
You ain't a long-distance runner then.
